Event

Frank Jaklistch and Friends

Folk/Celtic artist Frank Jaklitsch always turns his concerts at Caffè Lena into something more than entertainment. Audiences leave buoyed by the radiant joy Frank brings to his performances. The sound is full, the sing-alongs are plentiful, the laughter fills the room, and always one of Frank's favorite causes* receives his share of the evening's proceeds.

Come enjoy the best of traditional and contempory folk, and a smattering of Celtic favorites performed by Frank on guitar and lead vocals, Bobby Long on guitar, and Michael Eck on mandolin, plus Bill Flynn on light percussion.

Opener Amy Collins is a classically trained musician who has toured the US and Europe showcasing her gorgeous voice and dedication to traditional folk style. Celtic-flavored, folk-revival-tinged, and Americana influenced - Amy Collins will both tug at your heart and make you laugh out loud.

*Frank's proceeds will benefit the Community Hospice Africa Partnership. This is a wonderful program through which Hospices in the U.S. are paired up with Hospices in Africa. A few dollars go a long way, bringing rubber gloves, masks and medications to desperately poor, sick people who are suffering from AIDS and TB.
